few things to say about this booking:
the good-
*room was large and clean
*small private outdoor space for cooking
*netflix enabled smart TV
*close to metro
*able to cook
the bad-
*construction was being done on the wall of our room from 945am sporadically until 5pm DAILY for the last 6 days of our booking, without talking to us or explaining why. which woke us up several times, and interrupted buisness calls.
*no addional toliet paper or shampoo was provided after we extended out booking by 6 days. we went and bought our own.
*we had specifically asked how to enter the residence late at night because we were going out for some drinks. we were told it was no issue and that the gates to the house were left open. when we arrived, the gates were shut with a chain wrapped around them. we rang the bell and waited, tried to open gate and eventually ended up jumping over after 15 mins of waiting. I injured myself as the gate was quite high. I messaged the host asking why was the gate shut when he told me it wouldn't be an issue and he responded that "it wasn't locked, just shut". whether or not that was the case it VERY much appeared locked, after attempting to open it, looking at lock and more. There needed to be clear cut instructions or at bare minimum when I asked day before to explain the situation. this was frustrating, and my leg was cut and bleeding.
*the shower heating system was broken, after one cold shower I messaged host and he said to flip the switch on breaker. every time I showered the breaker would trip leaving me with a cold shower.
all in all we were getting pretty frustrated at the lack of communication/consideration from the host. I understand these issues could have easily been remedied, and may not be an issue for future guests.
the room itself is nice and clean.
